POUGHKEEPSIE >> Visitors to Dutchess County’s Wilcox Park, in Milan and Bowdoin Park in the town of Poughkeepsie will find it easier than ever to recycle with 25 new recycling bins made available through the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group/Keep America Beautiful Park Recycling Bin Grant program.

Dutchess County was one of 26 local and county governments selected to receive durable, 34-gallon, bright blue recycling bins.

The containers are placed at each park’s highly trafficked areas. At Wilcox Park, the containers are available at the beach snack bar, the playgrounds, each of the pavilions, and at trail heads near the campground. At Bowdoin, the bins are located at each of the pavilions, MapleKnoll Lodge, the Community room, the baseball, softball and soccer fields, the water spray park and playground area, and at the trail heads.
